Towards the end of YC127, new frontiers of opportunity opened up for the miners of New Eden. To help them rise to meet these opportunities, ORE’s design division began work on a reliable and effective ship that could outperform the Venture without the demands of other, more advanced, vessels.

The result was the Pioneer, a ship designed to extend the reach of the nascent miner as they build towards ever greater success.

Summary

The Pioneer is an upcoming mining destroyer slated to be released with the Catalyst expansion on 18 November 2025. It serves as a bridge point between the smaller Venture mining frigate and the larger Mining Barges. Like those ships, it receives bonuses for both mining and gas cloud harvesting. Like the Venture, the Pioneer is also usable by Alpha clones.

Compared to the Venture, the Pioneer offers a higher harvesting yield, with a third turret and stronger mining yield bonus. It can also carry a spare flight of drones that the Venture can not. However, the Pioneer lacks the inherent warp core strength bonus of the Venture.

Skills

A Pioneer can be used with starting skills on day one.

To improve mining yield

To improve survivability

To improve self-defense against belt rats

To harvest gas

Tactics

Like other ORE mining ships, the Pioneer is not an ideal ship for combat, and any threat more dangerous than belt rats is best avoided rather than confronted. Paying good attention to D-Scan and/or local chat can bring notice to potential threats before they catch a Pioneer, particularly in riskier areas of space.

Orbiting an asteroid can help mitigate incoming damage from belt rats, but can also increase the time required to escape if a player threat nears.

Notes

A Pioneer will be the reward of an upcoming epic arc to be released with the Catalyst expansion.
